Ms. Alexander-Roberts' second book on the topic carries on where her first book, "The ADHD Parenting Handbook", leaves off. She has written an excellent, well-researched book that provides in-depth information on living with the teenager with ADHD. She covers the most important concerns well. These include: parenting strategies that work; the use of medication; and the positive aspects of having ADHD. She also discusses helping your teen say "no" to drugs; other co-existing disorders that may be present, but often go undiagnosed and untreated; and many other topics important to parents of ADHD teens. Highly recommended

I am an ADHD female and I found this book very helpfull.I can now pay attention better and curve my impusivity.The strategies were very helpfull and I am now an A student without medicine.I am also not ashamed of having ADHD anymore.

The author tells us what we need to know as parents and how to guide the educational system. THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR EDUCATORS!!!!!

This book has been very insightful to this step-mom, who recently had my 15 year old ADHD stepson move into my home. I have been very frustrated, but now understand alot more about this disorder thanks to Colleen Alexander-Roberts and her book. We still have many more challenges ahead, but I feel this book has gotten me off to a great start in handling the behaviors.

This is a really helpful book that is also quick and easy to read. There were many great ideas that we were able to put into place pretty quickly; it also gave me some different perspectives that I hadn't considered but now keep in mind when talking with my teen. Since reading this book, we have had a lot less battles in our home which is really saying something if you live with a teenager who also has ADHD!

One of the best books around on teens. Very comprehensive and practical. The focus is on how ADHD affects teens and can impact family dynamics. The emphasis is on helping increase both parent and teen awareness and understanding of ADHD and the positive role medication can play. But that medication alone is not the answer.
